Description

This is a signed katana by Hosokawa (Minamoto) Tadayoshi, a swordsmith of the late Edo period, dated to Kaei 3 (1851). The blade is forged in shinogi-zukuri with a well-preserved ubu nakago, retaining its original signature. The sword is accompanied by a refined koshirae in a restrained and practical aesthetic, consistent with the samurai taste of the late Edo period.
